Indications
For most cervical spine problem, the initial treatment will be non-operative and may consist of rest and anti-inflammatory medications. Some people with cervical problems may benefit from neck braces. As the pain improves, physical therapy will have a role in preventing recurrence of pain.
Surgery is generally used when conservative therapy fails, if the pain and weakness become progressively worse, or if there is evidence that the spinal cord itself is being compressed.
